6:00pm Thursday 13/07/2017

Round 17 teams will drop from ~6:25pm tonight Early news already that Josh Battle (Fwd $174,000) to debut for saints. Cameron Zurhaar (Fwd $150,000) will also debut for Roos.
Good news too for peeps with Scott Selwood (Mid $506,000) who is set to return for the cats. Also reports that Hugh Greenwood (Mid/fwd $364,000) is back in for the crows.
Reports are that Jobe Watson (Mid $555,000) will be rested for the dons.

Shags’ Watchlist

Another week another debut with Josh Battle (Fwd $174,000) who gets a run with Membrey out suspended. This would imply that his JS is shakey, but as it often goes, play well hold your spot. He started well in VFL this year however has had some time on the sidelines due to injury. I wouldn’t jump on this week but rather watch and see how he goes for 1 week.

Shags’ Watchlist

Scooter, Scott Selwood (Mid $506,000) was in some amazing form this year before a couple of games on the sidelines. He’s still relatively cheap if that form can come back, but he certainly isnt the bargain he was earlier in the year. This is a watch for one week if you are considering him as a cheaper premium to jump on, his BE of 101 means he wont go up too much if he guns.

Shags’ Watchlist

Another debut for the Roos Cameron Zurhaar (Fwd $150,000) gets his chance this week. He plays a mid forward kind of role which is always good potentially for Fantasy stats. Beware the issue with North rotating its rookies, so his Job Security is very shaky.

Shags’ Watchlist

Veteran Suns player Michael Rischitelli (Mid $447,000) is finally back after a very serious knee injury that required a reconstruction. As such you wouldn’t jump on this week. However he has been Fantasy relevant in the past, and he is all class as a Football player, and if he does come out and play like his form in the past, he is relatively cheap. One to chuck on your watchlist as a Mid premo cheapy.

Shags’ Watchlist

If you started Luke Parker (Mid $565,000) like many of the swans players, you’d have been disappointed. But swans are back in the 8, and one of the big reasons is players like Parker who started poor have been lifting. Three tonnes on the trot, one being a huge 148, if Parker is going to continue scoring like this, he is definitely underpriced.

Shags’ Watchlist

Jay Kennedy-Harris (Mid/Fwd $195,000) gets another run for the Dees. Clearly his Job Security is shaky, however signs in the VFL are that he can really win the footy, with a couple of 40+ possession games! This doesn’t always translate to the AFL field, and his last 2 scores of 27 and 42 aren’t that impressive. However if he can keep a spot in the team, he has great potential as a cashcow.

Shags’ Watchlist

At the start of the season, it looked like Kane Lambert (Fwd $538,000) was barely top 22 for the tiges.
But just throwing it out there, his last 5 games have been amazing, averaging 111.8 with a high of 147, his role all of a sudden seems conducive to scoring in Fantasy. It would be a bold coach to grab him, and I must admit that this screams fools gold to me, but he has definitely done enough to earn a watchlist for me, especially since forward premiums are all over the shop this year.

Just realised I didnt have the new Pig potential in Dayne Zorko (Mid $668,000) on my watchlist, which is a glaring omission. 181. say no more. Averging 121.1 for the year. Only downside is he has avery low floor, with a score of 45. If you consider that an outlier, jump on board the Zorko train.

Shags’ Watchlist

Reports are that Lewis Young (Fwd $154,000) is an almost certainty to debut for the dogs on Sunday. Another one of those really tall former basketball draftees, he was a draft standout. With Easton Wood only out for a week however its going to take an amazing performance to hold a spot in the team. Make sure you check Sunday Extended bench selections

Shags’ Watchlist

Ryan Nyhuis (Def $168,000) was the toast of freo after his 4 goal haul last week including the games clutch goal. Surely after that game Freo will give him another chance this week. Only 67 points after 4 goals, and traditionally a lockdown defender, is a bit of a concern, but if he is named again that is a good sign for his Job Security. Make sure you check Sunday extended bench selection 5pm Friday.

A windy cold day in 2015, I was bored, sick with the flu, and decided to start a blog about Teamsheets. I was immediately recruited by Warnie and somehow am now a DTTALK author.

~REMEMBER: Friends don't let friends DT TEAMS become ghost ships.

not team sheet related but – im in a 18 team league where we all play each other once (meaning our fixtures finish in round 18) – jus wondering does anyone know whether we start finals in round 19 with gf in round 22 or if round 19 is a bye n we start in round 20 with gf in round 23. cant find anything on it anywhere. cheers legends :)

Had planned to downgrade Hannan (BE 67) to a rookie this week, but with Karpany out I think ill downgrade him first in case theres another late exclusion this week (JPK got me a doughnut last week with his late exclusion)

Trades:
Karpany > Hibberd
Ainsworth > Jelwood

Thoughts?

Ill most likely downgrade Hannan next week and upgrade Oliver to a premo

Tough call hanners been shit and scooter been injured and think been marked to tag this week toss a coin. Scooter probably more chance better score v Hawks and if tag will rack up 17 tackles so trade out hanners

Is Dom Sheed gunna play? He had poor run last week there are lots of ins for eagles they are coming off loss too he is on ext bench. Does the order mean anything? AFL site has him like 6th but above he’s first so dunno? If he is out I’m gunna have to hold Hanley

None really but at late stage of year JKH still $195k so is rookie with all of the injuries and outs at demons if he can play well he may cement a spot. All reports say he’s been carving in vfl does not always mean afl DT scores but shows he is fit

tough one..
your team isnt that bad, I wouldnt look to upgrade this week as you wont be able to do a decent upgrade. Maybe sideways trade someone to make some $. possibly cash in Lloyd. save cash to upgrade mountford to Jelwood next week (hopefully have a bit of a price drop again?)

All my promos in woo hoo
Which option please
1. Z Jones and T stewart to simpson and hibbard
2. Goldy and Rocky to Martin and Parker
3. Z Jones and Rocky to Simpson and murphy
4. Z Jones and Rocky to Doc and Withers can field Myers or withers

Was going to get rid of stef and via DPP i could have got in docherty (which is well overdue), but now with Archie out I’m thinking it’s wiser to keep him. Maybe Greenwood to Joel Selwood in midfield (move Dahlhaus forward) and can hopefully then get to Beams in a week or two to ‘finish’ midfield.

Im holding steph for that reason, selwood has a be of 131 so could be cheaper next week, greenwood has a be of 36 so a bit ofcash left in him still, could chop steel then bring in someone selwood, then just swap a bloke on ur bench, that would leave u with some cash for next week??

yeh righto cheers mate. In a way is a shame archie got dropped as may have worked better to trade stef out as was thinking i could still do greenwood and selwood next week with those breakevens as would move even closer together in price!

Steele’s form has been pretty good recently so do you think maybe trading dahlhaus might be the better option? doesn’t feel as comfortable trading him but just a thought.

if you are keeping steph this week it will be for the long haul he will loose a bit of cash, everyone has dahlhaus so no problem holding him, ur right about steelehe isin good form, ur sorta in a good spot, i only say not to trade greenwood as he has cash to make but others dont, its a good problem to have i guess

Yeh I agree on that now with greenwood 100%, better to hold one more week at least. I guess it may be a luxury trade in a sense for me this week possibly then as other few rookies still have way too much cash to make.

What are your thoughts on cousins to deluca (if he plays)/150k and then can get dahlhaus to Josh Kelly in midfield. Is a bit of a gamble as I am pretty much hoping that steele outscores dahl for rest of the year but on current form is possible. Would then mean i downgrade ryan or hibberd next week to get the cash to bridge the gap to get from greenwood to selwood or beams even?

I like the second option there that you’ve said. Maybe depends on your matchup in a league this week whether you need the win or could go first option and have that spare cash.

You’ll be able to get greenwood back into mid for a trade by downgrading mountford, when you need to, to a fwd/mid or fwd rookie as one of your trades that week so I wouldn’t worry about that in my opinion. So yeh, i like your second option on the whole there. Hope that helps.

Can you go Rough out move Greenwood fwd, move witherden onto field in mids, get Hibberd at d7, gives you 442k, then you can get either of Mountford or Myers to Zorko.
I wouldn’t trade Shaw I think he’ll be 90-110 from here on in.

If I jump on Zorko I should be able to get in docherty next week for greenwood anyways after a price rise.
I agree with the point abou docherty being a defender but either way I have to play witherden this week so it’s really tonne based on now who will score more.
120 in mid or defence at this time of year still is 120

Seriously tough one, agree. I luckily already have Zorko but also want the doch in badly!

I agree maybe just Zorko because you’re getting rid of a worse rookie in Scharenberg, however, if Greenwood is only on your bench maybe him instead. He obviously can make more cash still in comparison to Scharenberg so maybe just that option still and cash in mummy/greenwood in coming weeks. Hope that helps.

Understandable but your team is almost complete so luxury trades are around the corner, if you get darcy in now guaranteed +40k this week and probably another 30k next week. You won’t find anyone else making that sort of $$$ for the remaining rounds. Big risk big reward

I really want Zorko but am concerned with him getting a tag. I know it’s only happened once and he plays in a bad team but watching parts of last weeks game he is just too damaging to let run around on his own. At least if I was coaching against Brisbane I would defs tag him
